STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.

TO THE HONORABLE BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Phillips J. Montalvo ("Plaintiff") and defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security ("Defendant"), through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, pursuant to the Court's Scheduling Order, to extend the time for Plaintiff to provide Defendant with Plaintiff's Settlement Letter Brief to October 25, 2016; and that Defendant shall have until November 29, 2016, to provide a response.

This Court is aware that Counsel's Spouse battled Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized initially to her liver and continued to progress with tumors in her lungs, spine and brain. After exhausting all known chemotherapy treatments over 18 months ago and surviving on willful determination and profound faith alone Counsel's wife has succumbed to her illness. On September 30, 2016 Counsel gently held his wife as she relinquished her fight and passed away. Counsel requires the time to deal with providing the appropriate respect to his spouse.

ORDER

Having reviewed the above stipulation, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff may have an extension of time to provide Defendant with Plaintiff's Settlement Letter Brief to and including October 25, 2016; Defendant may have an extension of time to November 29, 2016 to file her response. All other deadlines set forth in the Case Management Order shall be extended accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
